Trademark Renewal
Trademark owners enjoy the exclusive right to renew their trademark every 10 years. To ensure continued protection, the renewal process must be initiated within the six-month grace period before the expiry date.
During this window, the Registrar of Trademarks allows the owner to renew and maintain all legal rights associated with the trademark.
Trademark Renewal Provision (Section 25)
According to the Trade Marks Act of 1999, a registered trademark can be renewed for an additional decade following the end date of its initial registration or its most recent renewal. To commence the renewal procedure, the trademark’s owner must formally apply to the Registrar of Trademarks, ensuring it’s done within the stipulated time frame and following the set guidelines. Once the application is submitted along with the mandatory fee, the Registrar will extend the trademark’s registration for another ten years.
